Cancer As we swing into August, the major astrological focus is eclipses. The month kicks off with a dramatic solar eclipse in Leo on August 1, followed by an equally dramatic lunar eclipse in Aquarius. An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when one celestial object moves into the shadow of another. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's shadow crosses the Earth's surface, and a lunar eclipse is just the opposite, when the Moon moves into the shadow of the Earth. So what do these attention-grabbing eclipses mean for you? Leo is known for being quite dramatic, and solar eclipses are known for their emotional intensity. With the solar eclipse occurring in Leo, expect bold headlines and plenty of 'breaking news.' All eclipses occur at a new Moon -- a time of new beginnings -- making this a truly important event. The word 'eclipse' means that something dramatic or attention-getting has occurred, captivating our attention enough to pull it away from somethi...

From Astrology.com: A solar return is the time that the Sun returns to the exact same spot on the day and time that you were born. That is, on your Birth Day & Time! The Sun In The Solar Return Chart Sun Aspects Saturn Sun-Saturn aspects in the solar return chart tend to imply a sense of structure. Whether this structure becomes supportive or restrictive is up to the individual's ability to handle Saturnian issues in a positive manner. This is not meant to be a depressing time, but it does entail stark realism. Accurate perceptions of existing situations are essential to either accepting or changing future expectations. The refusal to accept responsibility for one's own life situation or to work within obvious limitations can lead to frustration, isolation, and loneliness. Limitations are not an essential characteristic of Saturnian aspects, but denote a need to be more realistic and patient. Changes are slow and involve careful planning, hard work, and discipline. ...

It's been a habit to me to post horoscope predictions...but I think this is just for entertainment purposes. Just decide if you wanna read this or not... For this month, I will only emphasize the Chinese sign, the GOAT/SHEEP. SHEEP Chinese Reading - Year of the Earth Rat (astrology.com) Sheep Ratings 42% (5 favorable and 7 unfavorable months) After what was probably a very favorable, Pig year, this year might seem like a disaster.

Here is a excerpt of my forecast for the Year of the Earth Rat, 2008, which will start in the 7th of February from Astrology.com: Birth Data: Kenneth Birth Date: June 29, 1991 Birth Hour: 20 Signs: Year - Metal Sheep Month - Wood Horse Day - Metal Horse Introduction After two Fire years, life may seem calmer during this Earth year. That could be deceptive, however, as the Rat never stops moving -- especially when it comes to mental activity. Unfortunately, Earth has a destructive relationship with the Rat's fixed element, Water. This is not disastrous, but it does mean you should not rely too much on luck this year. On the other hand, the combination of Earth and Rat means this is extremely positive year for achieving results. The Rat tends to take a lot of risks, while Earth is associated with practicality and stability. This creates balance and can lead to good profits, increased productivity and all other accomplishments. Additionally, under Earth's influence there could be...
